Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman’s The Little Prince opera brings Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved worldwide literary classic to life with enchanting melodies and heartfelt storytelling.

The opera follows the journey of a young prince who travels from planet to planet, encountering a host of eccentric characters and learning valuable lessons about love, friendship, and the complexities of adulthood. Portman’s score captures the essence of each encounter, from the melodic whimsy of the prince’s encounters with the fox and the rose to the stirring crescendos that accompany his moments of introspection and revelation.

Through Portman’s masterful composition, the opera delves into themes of imagination, loneliness, and the universal quest for meaning. The Little Prince‘s exploration of the human condition resonates deeply with audiences of all ages, inviting them to reflect on their own lives and relationships.

With its lush orchestrations and poignant lyricism, The Little Prince opera is a testament to the enduring power of Saint-Exupéry’s timeless tale. Portman’s ability to evoke emotion through music elevates the story to new heights, leaving audiences spellbound from beginning to end. The Little Prince is a heartfelt celebration of innocence, imagination, and the enduring power of love.
